Hey all just a quick note today. I’m taking four weeks off publishing the blog posts so I can get ahead of other parts of this channel. In the meantime I’m hoping to get the podcast episodes back on Wednesdays.

I’m planning to record two already published blog posts to podcast this afternoon, once the neighbours have all put away their lawnmowers, and two further episodes for the next four week break (I’m sticking to my ten weeks on, four off schedule for now).

In the next block I’m going into Austrian pre-history, a convict king, some Mesopotamian history, circus strongmen, a murder mystery, and Benito Mussolini’s hat… among other things.

In the meantime, typewriters away! (I don’t really use a typewriter), microphones out! (I use an USB mic). The next two podcast episodes will be on Nellie Bly and eden ahbez.
